Scientific Anglers Concept 79 LA Disc Fly Fishing Reel

I purchased the concept 7/9 LA reel because of the success I've had with the concept 5/6. I searched the internet and found the best price on the Sierra Trading Post website. you won't find a better LA reel in this price range.

I use this reel for bass fishing with an 8 wt. line. Works great. Light weight. I like the large arbor. Can't beat the price.

haven't used it much, but i'm impressed

As a fisherman of 60 years, I have no patience for fools who covet overpriced gear for status satisfaction. I am reminded of lures that are designed to catch fishermen, not fishes. This reel is a great value, teriffic bang for the buck. It has a large arbor, disc drag, and operates smoothly. You could pay hundreds more dollars for a reel, but I doubt you could get one much better. What more do you want? Caveat: Not good for suckers; you'll need a reel 20 times as expensive for that.
